Bobby Rays Pennsauken Tavern

Forget what you think you know about neighborhood taverns—Bobby Ray’s Pennsauken Tavern is the definition of a local landmark that delivers a world-class experience. Nestled on Westfield Ave, this isn’t just a bar; it’s a dynamic community hub where game day meets gourmet pub fare and friendly service.

Owned by Pennsauken native and former NFL coach Bobby Ray Harris, the tavern is steeped in local pride and history. The building itself is over a century old, and Harris poured significant investment into modern renovations to create a spacious, inviting establishment. This deep-rooted commitment to the community shines through, giving the spot an instant “Cheers” feel, often serving as an unofficial VFW for local veterans.

The space is designed for serious revelry. You’ll find a lively atmosphere complemented by numerous large-screen TVs, making it the ultimate destination for sports fanatics. But the real surprise is the scratch-made food program led by veteran Chef Steve Memmo. They shun the freezer and the fryer, offering elevated pub food like massive, renowned burgers, loaded appetizers, and hearty entrees such as blackened tilapia and chicken marsala.

For the Beer Lover: Bobby Ray’s boasts an impressive commitment to local and craft beer, featuring 27 beer taps and over 50 different bottled beers. Look out for their exclusive house brew, “Pennsauken Crick,” a recipe reportedly discovered during the building’s historic renovation.

Beyond the Bar: Patrons rave about the welcoming outdoor deck—a perfect seasonal escape that is famously dog-friendly, complete with a special “doggy menu” for your four-legged friends. With amenities like darts, board games, live performances, catering services, and a truly diverse, welcoming crowd (LGBTQ+ friendly and transgender safe space), Bobby Ray’s is a standout South Jersey gem that works equally well for a quick lunch, a family dinner, or watching the championship game.
